about getting them out of the game altogether.

I have given up on Arsene since 2008 I love him but I think he has lost the plot, the most annoying thing

I believe tgere are 3 titke contenders this year Leicester, city and arsenal
About Leicester they are doing great but there football depends on counter attacking and few quick passes to reach the ball to mahrez or vardy i don't think they can impress anybody if they faced teams that park the bus like what the teams do with arsenal and also any injury for mahrez or vardy will ruin there season so i don't consider them a real challenge and in an open
game we
got the best
out of them and beat them with 5 goals to 2 so calm down gooners
About city they had very impressing start for the season then they were vety baf winning most
games by pure luck or last minute goals and they could be beaten easily Arsenal are the best team form we controled most
of the
games and the losses and draws were by bad referee decisions or bad luck and the 4 points margain with city could have been easily 10 or 12
It was an absolute dunk fest in the second half

I would like to tell arsenal fan that the transfer window is not arsenal's problem.Let explain what is in my mind.We need to reinforce our team but we need to think in the future that most
of the high class players are going to refuse signing for arsenal fc because
of Mr Wenger's philosophy.It looks like arsenal becomes cemetery
of players.How many players came in and left because
of performance, became good players
out of arsenal.We need to accept all
of the transformation Mr wenger brings in arsenal but now it does not work.Why??? because lack
of tactics, strategies and pretending best players for Mr wenger mind but in reality those players do not
get standard
of best player.Mr wenger wants to prove everybody that he is wright that players who are calling by wenger are best.I means Mr wenger is the only one can see all matter in good position or bad.He is wrong by thinking this way.He does not like criticism.he is the mind
of arsenal.Everything he can say or defend is wright.Think
about morrinho comments
about arsenal!!!! Why he likes to be arsenal coach!!!! One thing I want to say
about arsenal players, I think everybody watch arsenal
games.We have
got short mind players who play two good
games and the rest shameless.They are working hard in the training ground for catching Mr wenger's mind to let them play; what is behind their (players) mind to be the most regular players.Those players have no vision even ambition; they are never becoming high class and their carriers are going to finish in arsenal after arsenal we are going to see them playing for championship.They do not care to become legend as Ian wright, Vierra, Berckam, piress, Henry... What is the big behind their mind to use wenger name to be selected in national team.They are not able to face different leagues in the world.

Chelsea would do the same thing (as much as i hate Mourinho) he would not allow his team to become a circus just providing eye catching entertainment and made sure he would always sure up his midfield with players that would have just enough skill to
get them
out of trouble as quick as they
got into it but whose
game was more
about physical endeavour and forward momentum and used the likes
of Ramirez and Willian to great effect whilst allowing only one player, Hazard to have creative freedom and even then he warned him
of just how much he should do and when he should do it... keeping him in check.

Would Henry have missed the shot Giroud has, and Im not just talking
about yesterday (Re the Monaco
game as just one example) Walcott goes missing and seems terrified
of getting too involved in tackles or any rough play that goes on and is NOT a natural striker, Welbeck has a lot
of heart but just does nt have the talent, Sanchez is knackered, Ozil is
getting fed up with it (look to see if he wants to go elsewhere this summer) Ramsey is missing in action too and looks unlikely to pull himself
out of this rut any time soon, belerine looks jaded Mertsaker is too slow and Gabriel too stupid........
Although I've found it very cathartic to speak, vent and end occasionally rant
about all things Arsenal, we need to act carefully and intelligently right now or we're going to
get played by this club even worse than at present... the pro-Wengerites and the suits, who represent a considerable proportion
of the season ticket holders, don't want to believe that there is no plan and that Wenger has mailed it in for several years now or that things are going to
get much worse before they
get better... why would they... many have spent a considerable sum buying some
of the highest priced tickets in the World... they want to have a front row seat to see something special and to be seen doing so, which simply provides ample justification for the expense and the time invested... to many
of them, Wenger is the sun in their soccer universe... his awkward disposition, misplaced arrogance and his utter lack
of balls makes him a rather unusual cult figure, but the cerebral narrative seemed to embolden those who already felt pretty highly
of themselves... many might not even
of really liked football that much before his arrival and rarely
games they weren't attending... as such, they desperately believe that Wenger, and only Wenger, can supply them with their required fix... if he goes, they were wrong and that's a tough pill to swallow... they would have to admit that they were duped... they will definitely resent whoever made them feel this way, but
of course it will be too late by then... so when we go overboard with ridiculous comments bordering
of anarchy, it scares the shit
out of them and they shift their blame towards us rather than at those who really perpetrated this act
of treason... we aren't the enemy... we simply woke much earlier and the reason our comments have
gotten more vile in recent years is
out of utter frustration... in order for any real change to occur at this club we need to bring as many supporters as possible with us or the big money interests will fade and our ultimate objective will be lost... so it's time to focus on the head instead
of the heart for now
this window has just finished i am already thinking
about who we will
get for the january window we might try for khedira on a really low offer as he is free agent almost would help boost numbers in midfield in the new year as we will no doubt need to filling the numbers
about then also i will hold my hands up and say i was wrong this morning for giving wenger stick and saying welbeck is rubbish i have been
out in the cold light
of day and had a chance to reevaluate the situation and realized that this could be a canny shrew transfer on wenger behalf actually if wenger can turn the clock back and work his magic on welbeck and
get him scoring goals and improve his
game then we could have a great underrated signing on our hands its wengers absolute trust in him that might be what makes him a great player as this is something that he never had at old mordor if anybody can make him a world beater wenger can he loves this little pet projects improving players against the odds welbeck has the skillset to be high class player upfornt he just needs to work very hard on his finishing i think once he
gets a few goals under his belt he will settle in fine and he is a team player you could put him on the left against man city to shore up that side and he will put in a great shift without a complaint that could be his biggest asset to us or on the right whenever we need him there ithinkwenger might start himon the left against city to protect the left back against navas and i bet you if he does a great job we will take a shine to him quickly i am hopeing he will be one
of those wenger gems that he finds and polishes up to a high finish i must admit i was annoyed as some other gunners were at not signing d / m and c / h but if wenger does win the league with this lot it will be his greatest win yet and what might play in to our hands is the unpredictable nature
of the league in the last few seasons if we
get on a good run at the right time we might be hard to stop look at city they should have never lost to stoke but the result is there in black and white for all to see and i think chelsea will hit the skids after a while to just because cesc and costa are doing well now thats there main threat but teams will work
out how to stop them as the season goes on and chelsea will become predictable i think we might just do well this season after all

Its
about time again for Wilshere to rule he is well capable
of it and should go
out there and come
out of it as a glittered champion its unfortunate but it is cut and dry up or
out he has it so it should be up so he should up his
game focus and lead he needs to
get to the world cup so the work must be done I am confident he can do that so we can support him wish him good luck and push him on
The Costa Rican was

So after that ramble
about how Wenger can't drill players, I want to see our young defenders go
out on loan and
get that side
of training before it is «too late», Wenger isn't leaving before his contract is up and by then it could have cost us millions, loan
out Holding ASAP to give him
game time and confidence while being drilled in how to defend.
I agree
about Mustafi and the Cazorla link helped him
out and sometimes Granit does put the CBs under pressure because he can't find a forward pass or is too scared too, but facts are facts Mustafi made 1 start at the 2014 WC & 2 sub appearances making a total
of 132 minutes only in the group before he
got injured, I disagree he «helped» Germany win the WC as he simply didn't play enough and didn't play any knockout
games so was only a squad player who played 1.5
games in total, he can play well but tends to panick and finds himself
out of position ALL the time, he is a liability diving into tackles and trying to make interceptions he has no.
Arsenal rarely turn up in the first half

if you watch arsenal place I see so much space and no runs no runs at all only when in the box if you watch Leicester they are always makeing runs all over the place that's how you score goals against a team like Southampton they controlled the
game it was not unlucky just like chelsea can do control the
game and won arsenal players don't believe they can win the title the players in that team play without heart you know why because Im sure wenger tells them becareful we don't need anymore Injurys what kind
of mentality is that also I will pick
out Ramsey he is playing like a player who is leaveing the club he and flamini just don't work Ramsey is not playing good at all wenger can blame make excuses but truth is he is the manager he make the tactics and he
gets it wrong all the time giroud has no pace none bench him against some teams and play pure pace make runs ox Walcott but they don't Walcott has lost it his pace has gone its clear or he fears I jury how if a player is fit put your all in forget injury if you
get Injured then so be it but if your fit and your Walcott run put yourself
about wenger should leave because he.

Got home from the game about an hour or so ago, purely because the trains were delayed and what not, nearly got my head kicked in by the Southampton lot on the way back too and this is after seeing us loose 2 - 1 at home to a lesser team than us and then I just read that Stan Kroenke has taken 3 million quid out the club which coincidently is part of the 3 % rise of season ticket prices...

Wenger makes a good point — any manager would rather have players
get angry
about not playing every minute
of every
game rather than
get angry and refuse to play — but I wish he had left the specifics
out.
(1) this squad has way too many moving parts and very few
of our players are good enough at their preferred position let alone relying on them in whatever position Wenger and his magic eight ball decide in the tunnel prior to the
game... when teams do this it generally signals issues within the club, much like Jose last year and Van Gael before him... no one
gets settled, the chemistry is almost non-existent and if provides a built - in excuse when the team comes up short... these issues fall squarely on Wenger, both for his decisions regarding players coming in and for his inability to rid the team
of those players who aren't cutting it... in actually fact we have only 6 real starters on this current squad and that's being generous (Sanchez, Ozil, Lacazette, Sead, Kos & Cazorla)... which is discouraging because Cazorla is injured and might never play again, Sanchez is wanting
out and the club is lying to us
about his injury status, Lacazette receives no service, Ozil is relatively disinterested
out there, Kos is
getting up there and Sead is just trying to settle in... there isn't a single other player that would start regularly on any
of the other top 3 teams, which should be the standard... imagine this team moving forward if Wenger only sells before the window closes
The only question marks
about Arteta being made captain are that he's
getting older and the demands
of the
game see him lose
out sometimes.
we can't even
get rid
of players that have barely mannered to us for several years... which is incredibly annoying considering that our beloved owner would never risk his own financial resources whether he brought in some new blood or offloaded several failed Wenger projects for less than market value... he would simply make a little less and the burden would fall squarely on other sources
of income, primarily us... I don't know
about you but I would gladly use all the money they have been stockpiling to rid ourselves
of those that don't meet acceptable standards and to replace them with a few higher priced gems... I know, I know, Wenger and his minions have been scouring the globe for years now to find anyone that was as good as our current lot to no avail, but I've just
got to believe there must be two or three guys somewhere
out there that can play this crazy
game
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition
of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release
of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state
of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to
get rid
of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he
got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy
of our time and / or investment, as such we should
get rid
of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should
get rid
of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan
out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction
of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly
about the return
of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort
of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative
of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition
of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle
of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to
get that player into the fold without any
of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind
of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good
about the way their future potential employer feels
about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule
about his lack
of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result
of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest
of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands
of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none
of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club
of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to
get rid
of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field
of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version
of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history
of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet
of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival
of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone
of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players
of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that
of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't
get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part
of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the
game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet
of those who were well aware all along
of the potential pitfalls
of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
How any gooner could encourage a walk
out during the
game ie Konstantin is beyond me, unless
of course it's
got fa to do with tickets and more
about damaging Wenger or AFC.
never waste CAPITAL LETTERS on an article
about Chambers at this juncture... I still can't believe that no one from management has ever explained why such a frugal club spent so much money on him in the first place... we haggle for months and years with clubs for players who could have a monumental impact on the very future
of our club but somehow we found $ 16 million for someone who couldn't regularly crack a Southampton lineup (very fishy)... don't
get me wrong, I like what he showed at times last season in Middlesbourogh but from the handful
of games I watched him play I still have some serious questions
about his consistency as a back - line player in the EPL; as such he should prove himself on loan for another season, making sure that he goes to a team that wants him in the starting 11... bottom line, let's not
get bogged down with the semantics
of peripheral players and focus on the real task at hand = figure
out who the hell is going to be our starting 11 for the foreseeable future, which means
getting contracts signed,
getting rid
of a lot
of deadwood and bringing in talented players into the positions which truly need upgrading... the rest is just unnecessary noise
I did not
get to watch the
game because
of work unfortunately, however we have all made that comment several times this season
about sanchez not working
out as center forward, yet the manager still persist.
Arguing
about strength
of schedule the wrong way means limiting the sample even further and acting like we can't
get meaning
out of every play
of every
game.
I have no idea how Arsene Wenger is going to
get the Arsenal players up for the final few
games of the Premier League season, but the Frenchman needs to find a way to inspire the Gunners and be quick
about it, or the campaign could end not only in disappointment but disaster if we crash
out of the Champions League for the first time in the reign
of the prof.... Read the full article here
The unique thing
about the Opening Round is it allows both the top seed to scout their future opponent but it also allows for the Winner
of the Opening Round
Game to a)
get some much needed at - bats to work
out any kinks and b) to come in with a serious amount
of momentum..
And for those who are constantly bashing him
about his lack
of impact in
games, maybe you should watch the Newcastle
game again and see how much impact a player like Ozil would have had, a player who can keep possession, drag opposition players
out of position and requires constant attention from the opposition to stop him from delivering that one killer pass even if he seems to be having a bad
game [I recall Ronaldinho had a relatively quiet
game in the 2006 champions league final
game, he did just one thing all
game, he delivered that pass to Eto'o that
got Lehmann sent off, he wasn't huffing and puffing for 90 minutes].
